I am thinking of the following combinations to save on transportation cost
1. Haruka and Iccoca
2. Use Iccoca going to Universal studios to and from Momodani Station
3. Buy Osaka 2-day pass for Days 3 and 4
4. Use Iccoca going to Kyoto
5. Get 2-day bus pass in Kyoto
6. Use Iccoca for Arashimaya
7. Use Iccoca for Nara
8. Haruka for going to back to airport

Am I really saving money with such combination ? I would appreciate getting better ideas to help us save
money .

Also, can we cover Kyoto by just walking . I read about so many walking tours.

Thanks,
Marilyn

Hi Marilyn,

Looks good. I think as you're going for such a long period and have plans for roaming around Kansai the Haruka+ICOCA coupled with Osaka and Kyoto passes are a good choice. Bear in mind that once you recharge it the ICOCA won't actually be any cheaper than purchasing individual tickets.

For tips to keep costs to a minimum while you are in Osaka, Kyoto and Nara I recommend the following resources:
